Also found this blogpost http://brianmriley.com/blog/?p=8 related to dojo and firewalls not playing well together.

In particular, Ajax based feed aggregators (aka Start Pages) doesn't seem to be awared of degradable and unobtrusive techniques. I suggest you take a look at the MIX (http://mix.excite.eu), the start page I'm developing for Excite Europe. It is conceived as a degradable product, so users will still be able to navigate it when js is disabled. We're still in beta, I hope to complete soon this concept. But in a rough way, it is already active. It is a more general issue, not covering just Bloglines, but every Ajax-powered product.

Some block based on regExp conditions (sometimes falsely) and they usually parse the .js file to see if it's trying to make certain JavaScript calls. The firewall is configured as per factory settings, so my point is that if it's happening to me at my place of work, it almost certainly is at others. But, the point that you've overlooked really, is that Bloglines does something that is essentially quite simple. A news reader could work without complicated JavaScript. It always used to for Bloglines. Different firewalls do different things, Tom.

How does the firewall determine whether to block a script or not? Does it look at the filename of the script or does it parse its contents? IMHO the firewall is broken and not bloglines...

I should think that Greasemonkey could do that for you somehow. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/748/ I was thinking along the lines of configuring Firefox so it would have the dojo fw already present when loading the page.
